Pakistan's star batter Babar Azam got off to the worst possible start to the Bangladesh Test series, as he got out for a two-ball duck on Day 1 of the first Test in Rawalpindi.
Coming in to bat at no. 4 after the dismissal of captain Shan Masood, Babar soon followed suit. Babar edged a delivery by Shoriful Islam, which was grabbed behind the stumps by a diving Litton Das.
While it was Babar's eighth duck in Test cricket, he also brought up an unwanted first. The duck was Babar's first in a Test cricket match on home soil.
It continues a poor run of form for Babar, who averages under 40 (37.41) in his last nine Tests. Babar Azam 0(2) vs Bangladesh Ball by Ball pic.twitter.com/lMVs7qO3D1 Babar need not worry about the record of most ducks by a Pakistani batter, as his eight is still well short of Danish Kaneria's 25.
